Overview of DWDM/ODC Project

Abstract

This article introduces the main achievements resulting from the DWDM/ODC project. The five areas of research activity within the DWDM/ODC project cover some of the main issues of design and development of dense wavelength division multiplexing systems for transparent optical networks. These issues are: performance assessment with arbitrary optical filtering; performance of signaling formats; dispersion compensation strategies for directly and externally modulated systems in presence of nonlinear transmission-induced degradation; and the impact of noise and crosstalk in the extent of transparent optical networks. All five areas of research activity have contributed significantly to a better understanding of the limitations present in dense wavelength division multiplexing systems.     

Analysis method of the effect of fabrication errors on a planar waveguide demultiplexer

The impact of fabrication errors on a planar waveguide demultiplexer is analyzed based on an analytical method. The explicit expression of the transfer function taking into account phase and amplitude errors is presented in order to analyze the loss and crosstalk of the demultiplexer caused by fabrication errors. A basic requirement for the demultiplexer with a certain crosstalk criterion can be easily obtained. Using an etched diffraction grating demultiplexer as an example, it is shown that the analytical results have a good agreement with results from a numerical method.

随着集成电路特征尺寸的不断缩小, 互连线在芯片内部占的比重越来越大, 但是互连线仅用于数据传输, 芯片计算能力仍然需要依靠晶体管开关实现. 如何在有限的硬件资源内进一步提高芯片的计算能力, 已经成为当前集成电路设计的核心问题. 本文通过研究金属互连线间电容耦合效应, 采用互连线串扰现象完成逻辑运算的思想, 提出一种基于线计算的全加器设计方案. 该方案首先建立线计算模型, 通过调整反相器阈值和不同干扰线与受扰线之间电容耦合强度匹配技术, 采用相同线计算电路结构实现不同功能的逻辑门电路; 然后, 在逻辑门的基础上实现基于线计算的全加器; 最后, 在TSMC 65nm CMOS工艺下仿真验证. 结果表明, 所设计的线计算电路具有正确逻辑功能, 与传统设计方法相比, 线计算逻辑门具有更低开销, 且线计算电路具有抗逆向工程能力.     

Angular multiplexed holographic memory system based on moving window on liquid crystal display and its crosstalk analysis

We suggested a new non-mechanical angular multiplexed holographic memory system using a moving window, which was fabricated by controlling the pixels of a liquid crystal display (LCD) electronically. If we use light passed through the window left and right, and up and down, each window makes a reference wave with a different incidence angle and we can store angular-multiplexed holograms. The feasibility of the proposed method was demonstrated through optical experiments and its crosstalk noise analysis was also presented.     

Crosstalks of two-waveguide and three-waveguide directional couplers

Crosstalks of two-waveguide and three-waveguide directional couplers are analyzed mathematically based on the relationship between the coupled mode and the normal mode. Numerical techniques such as the finite-difference method and the beam propagation method are employed to confirm the validity of the derived expressions. The calculation results show that two-waveguide directional coupler is superior to any type of three-waveguide couplers from the practical viewpoint of the crosstalk and the coupling length.

本文建立了偏分复用系统中偏振模色散与信号偏振态变化引起信道串扰的数学模型, 分析了偏振模色散对偏分复用信道射频功率的影响, 并提出了适用于偏分复用系统的光域偏振模色散补偿与偏分解复用同时进行的方案: 用信道的射频功率作为反馈控制信号, 监测链路中偏振模色散和偏振态变化引起的信道串扰的大小, 用改进的粒子群优化算法对偏振控制器进行自适应控制, 同时完成偏振模色散补偿与偏分解复用. 在112 Gb/s偏分复用-差分正交相移键控(PDM-DQPSK)传输系统中仿真验证了该方案的有效性. 结果表明该方案可以使112 Gb/s-PDM-DQPSK传输系统完成自适应偏分解复用的同时, 在1 dB的光信噪比代价下, 使系统对偏振模色散的容忍度提高20 ps. 关键词： 偏分复用系统 信道串扰 偏振模色散 偏分解复用     

基于多导体传输线理论的差模激励新型线束串扰模型研究

传统的线束串扰模型只是在系统内共模激励的基础上建立的, 没有考虑系统间差模激励下线束串扰的情况. 针对差模激励下系统独立回路间线束串扰的物理问题, 提出了一种基于多导体传输线理论的差模激励新型线束串扰的计算方法.该方法根据差模激励下线间的耦合机理, 利用传输线传播横向电磁模式得到新型三导体传输线寄生参数电路及数学矩阵模型, 通过镜像法以及诺埃曼公式推导出寄生参数的计算公式, 并在频域内得到新型线束串扰的链参数矩阵方程, 根据新型差模串扰模型始端、终端边界条件最终得到串扰电压的频域解.以差模激励下平行双线回路对其他回路受扰线的串扰为例, 通过仿真受扰线不同布置情况下的串扰电压, 得到了差模激励源的线束间串扰的物理规律, 即受扰线位于差模回路之间时所受的串扰要远大于位于回路外时所受的串扰, 并验证所提出的模型及方法可以计算不同频率差模激励引起的干扰. 利用解析的方法解决了线束串扰中差模激励下的导线串扰问题, 为实际中如大量导线的捆扎以及导线干扰的预测等电磁兼容问题提供了理论依据, 具有指导意义, 完善了多导体传输线理论在线束串扰中的应用.     

White light interferometry test and analysis of LiNbO3 polarizer

White light interferometer can be used to measure the amplitude extinction ratio (ER) of polarizer and coupling distribution in fiber. A LiNbO₃ polarizer coupled with a polarization maintaining fiber and a silica planar waveguide at the two ends was measured using white light interferometer. According to the principles of optical coherence domain polarimeter (OCDP) technique, the test scheme is analyzed and presented to measure the ER of LiNbO₃ polarizer with its apparatus proposed correspondingly. By analyzing the interference intensity, both the ER of LiNbO₃ polarizer and its coupling crosstalk with optical fiber and waveguide are obtained. The results illustrate that the ER of a 5 mm-long LiNbO₃ polarizer is 71 dB and the crosstalk of the coupling points are around 40 dB. The results have good agreement with analysis.
